I see our favourite Brummie red Sam Lee has started a new City podcast and wants people to pay a £20 subscription
Reckon I’d genuinely get more for my money buying 20 scratchcards

Is that his pod on the Athletic"why always us"

Can anyone remember the excitement Sky is showing for the league cup final when we won it back to back three times? Wall to wall coverage because the rags are in the final of something that is number 4 on a priority list for City and as a tournament wont have the top teams in England competing in it after 2025.

First up on football focus after the Motson tributes, 10 minutes discussion
As a Sky tournament, never mentioned when we dominated except to explain why we weren’t playing that weekend

He’s got a new one and is charging rubes to pay extra for it.
Just to hear him say “I actually knew about that but chose not to write about it” about every story broken by someone else

He’d need to pay me 20 to even consider switching that snide **** on.

The pundits will call it the 'greatest game ever played', whichever team wins the trophy tomorrow.

A big change from the recent past and City domination lifting the League Cup.
Then, most pundits were calling for it to be scrapped in an already over-crowded future list, and with the rest of the ' Big Six' playing a lot of youth team players.
The two teams tomorrow will laughably be credited with breathing life back into the competition - after City ruining football by winning it too often.

BINGO!

How the hell did we beat Bournemouth today ?... just watched Match of the Day and anyone who hadnt seen the game live would think from the highlights they hammered us , must have shown every Bournemouth half chance and spell of posession they had in our half , very misleading..

What's Andy Hinchcliff got against City?

They repeatedly spelt his name wrong I believe ;-)

 

[hammocity]

No particular reason, just feel like telling Andy Hincliffe...

Looks like i made the right decision to mute the Sky commentary , its quite refreshing just observing the game without the agenda driven garbage from pundits , shame i cant's get the Radio Manchester commentary to sync , so played the Roses and some Liam Gallagher as an accompaniment and a few bottlesof Desperado's ..........nice.

Think that can be done (sync commentary) by plugging a digital radio into a laptop, linking again to a tv, and downloading a piece of software to then finish the job. I got told about this several years ago, and presume it still works. Never tried it myself.

Nah most people know how to spell ****

Pardew won it in 2012 despite Mancini winning the title at City. Pulis won it in 2014 when Pellegrini - in his first season in England - won the title and the League Cup. The following year Mourinho - in his second spell in England - repeated Pellegrini's feat and won the MOTY. Last season Klopp won it despite Pep winning the title.

In the 29 years of the award 24 MOTYs have been awarded to the manager of the title winners. Only 5 times has the title winning manager not won it and 3 of those times it was at the expense of a title winning City manager.

Mourinho won moty without a murmur of dissent and was lauded as the greatest thing since sliced bread after achieving EXACTLY what Pels had done the season before (even down to a last 16 chumps league exit). The season before Pellegrini wasn’t even mentioned when the award was discussed at the end of the year, Pulis was shoehorned in as favourite by every pundit going. Aguero was consistently overlooked as both player of the season and as striker in the team of the season. The bewilderment of those same journos when Kun retired was almost comical when they tried to come to terms with his lack of recognition through the years. Yeah, of course there is no anti-city agenda in the media.

I’m with you, I think understanding Swahili would be easier, hats off though to the “techy” people, most are nerds but very useful :-)

No offence intended!

Non taken , show me a classic car engine and i can make it sing like a bird , but when you start talking gigabytes and RAM then you would be better talking to the wall.

I was comparing KDB’s personal awards to some of the other ‘great’ midfielders. He compares favourably with all of them, but of course he’s never landed Football Writers player of the Year, even though his fellow professionals recognised him twice. Still, I suppose there’s a chance we’ll look back one day and accept Jordan Henderson’s place in the pantheon of all time greats :D

I think anything severe enough to give us all that collective level of brain damage would probably wipe out the human race, so I doubt it.

Same can be said for David errrrrrr, Villa, sorry my mistake, Silva ;)

ZERO individual recognition by the Premier League and was it one, or possibly at a push two, teams of the year that he managed to squeeze into?

They're pathetic with their childish hatred!

Joe Hart. A record equalling 4 Golden Gloves playing in one of the most attack orientated sides the league has ever seen and England's first choice goalkeeper (usually a big advantage when it comes to these things) but only one appearance in the team of the season to go with them (he got in 2010's as well but that was while on loan at Birmingham)

Any player who has courage and the bravery to literally put their head on the line like Hendo did yesterday to block an almost certain goal of the season from Tront's thunder bastard free kick must be knocking on the door of an all time great.
That 1 moment cemented his legendary status in my eyes
